So this fic is more or less going to be comprised of shorter chapters that lead into the other, also this fic is going to be less serious overall in tone.
It's not like they can stop me even if they tried, I'm loyal to the Foundation sure, but I need something to do like any other person. With the current lack of things to do I'm getting desperate for anything at all that looks even mildly interesting.
This might just be what I needed.
I swiftly exited the room with the Captain in tow, leaving the guard behind to clean up what was there.
"What's your name?" I asked him.
He responded evenly. "Kanin Mason, sir."
A sense of glee welled up within me, I thought I had forgotten how to feel it. "Well, Kanin, I hope you realize just how exciting this is, we haven't had a new SCP come into our sites for a while. Even if this one is just temporary staying here until O5 council say otherwise."
"I wouldn't be surprised if they do get involved, this new one might be sentient enough to communicate." Jack said while checking his gear.
How were we going to contain it if it could teleport? Guess we'll cross that bridge when we get there. His remark had caught my attention like a fish to a lure.
"What makes you think that?" I asked.
"It didn't kill us all for one." he stated while waving to a nearby guard as we walked past. "And it seemed to understand what I was saying, it knew how to deal with everything in my arsenal besides the flashbang."
He was right, this creature seemed quite intriguing from everything I've heard about it so far.
We walked until we came to the helipad, where it was going to be dropped off with more personnel waiting to take it inside the facility. The facility itself was new, stationed somewhere in Canada of all places. I forgot the exact spot on the map, however that detail would probably be for the better.
After all, the O5 say that the less I knew, the better.
The night was cool, while stars littered the sky above with the moon bathing the helipad in its natural light. The helicopter arrived shortly, everyone seemed to have a slight bit of fear in their posture.
As soon as it landed, everyone sprang into action, quickly taking the container that held whatever this creature was and starting to escort it inside.
Kanin seemed to stare at it, probably hoping that it doesn't somehow escape.
The other Captain ordered his men to follow close by, he approached me with a grim look on his face. "It had some strange kind of black and white rock with it, unknown whether it is dangerous or not."
"We have an enclosure of sorts set up already for it so hopefully that'll be enough until we figure it out completely, also, tell me about this rock..." I asked while following behind the squad.
The Captain shrugged dismissively. "I wouldn't know, although it seemed to clutch onto it like its life depended on it."
"Noted." I mused while writing it down on a small little clipboard I had.
"SCP appears to be zero point four meters tall, weigh about six point six kilograms, and seems to be passive in its enclosure, for now." I recited while ticking things off on my now almost full clipboard.
It's enclosure mimicked a small field with a tree in the center. Some glass was further up one of the walls, tinted in which allowed for me to see in without it seeing me.
The SCP woke up and seemed to explore the area, noticing that it was trapped with no exit. However it didn't seem to care, and instead rested underneath the tree.
"Get some D-Class ready for later, I want to try something in the morning when it has a chance to settle in. Until then, keep a close eye on this thing in case in teleports." I said to a nearby guard, who complied and started contacting the necessary people.
Kanin seemed to stare at it a little longer than what seemed normal. "Is it just me, or do you feel like you're being watched whenever you look at it?" he suddenly said.
Everyone warily looked at him, one of the other guards even had a finger on the trigger of their gun.
"I'll entertain the idea." I said while joining him by the window and looking at it as well, the SCP appeared to be in some kind of meditative stance while a feeling that I could only describe as being watched suddenly arose.
"Guess I'm adding that to the list." I mused sarcastically while turning away from it.
Kanin suddenly tapped me on the shoulder. "Uh, boss…"
I turned around and saw that it was staring directly at me and Kanin, knowing that we were there. Everyone in the room seemed to back away from the glass, minus me and Kanin, I was far too interested in knowing what it could do to be scared…
Suddenly it disappeared into thin air, causing everyone to start shouting incoherently, before suddenly stopping.
"What have you stopped screaming for? I was recording that for later-"
I stopped myself short, the SCP was standing in the middle of the room staring at me and Kanin with a curious look on its face.
"This certainly is a development." I said awkwardly while the other scientists stared at me for breaking the deafening silence.
It slowly approached me and Kanin, causing him to tense up a little while brandishing his pistol.
I whispered to him while watching it out of the corner of my eye. "Don't shoot it, I doubt it'll like that."
Kanin nodden then flashed a hand gesture to the other guards to carefully leave the room and to not open fire. The SCP seemed to notice everyone leaving, tilting its head in what I could guess was confusion or curiousity.
It turned its attention back to me and Kanin, I decided to crouch down to get a better look at it, causing it to get closer.
The SCP got within arms reach, I put my hand out to which it grasped it in its own.
"Curious…" I muttered to no one in particular.
It reacted to what I said, tilting its head again as to seemingly ask a question.
I took my clipboard out again and started marking down anything I was able to see for later. "Can you understand what I'm saying?"
Suddenly my clipboard flew out of my hands and to the SCP, along with the pencil. It began to look at it then me, before its eyes began to glow bright pink for a second. A different feeling filled me briefly, one of being read from the inside. It seemed to have mind-reading capabilities.
The feeling stopped as the SCP began to write with the pencil. It finished and chirped happily as the clipboard floated back towards me with 'yes' written in extremely hard to read handwriting.
"Do you mind staying in the enclosure for a while?" I asked it while getting up and pointing down below to where it previously was.
It pondered what I said for a moment, before looking at Kanin with a harsh glare on its face. "The mean MTF man who hurt you won't be able to do anything so long as you stay here." I added.
It slowly nodded its head, before disappearing back into the enclosure in a brief flash of light. It seemed happy oddly enough.
"Crisis averted doc, you have a way with words." Kanin said in relief.
I opened the doors into the hallway that led here and was greeted to about twenty men lined up with flashbangs and guns ready to fire at a moment's notice.
I shook my head while rolling my eyes. "So you didn't sound the alarm? No matter, the SCP has been recontained for now, also you better fall through with the D-Class I ordered for."
The Captain shrugged before ordering all the personnel to disperse back to their posts.
"Were you actually recording their screams?" Kanin suddenly asked as we started walking down the hallway.
I pushed a button on a device I had, causing screams to blare through it and Kanin to jump a little. "I think that answers your question, I'll see you back in the new SCP's office area tomorrow."
He nodded while walking towards the barracks, I made my way back to my personal quarters where I could pack it in for the night.
It could understand me, which was very interesting, maybe it'll be something that's helpful down the line.
Until then, tomorrow is a new day.
